Don’t Mess With Texas…Unless You’re Rick Perry

by ipollnews Contributor Rich Maggio

It seems that Rick Perry has everyone fooled into thinking that he will be the perfect man for the job as President of these United States. The main stream media blindly praises his entering into the race by calling him a top tier candidate, but below are six things about Rick Perry that you will not hear on any mainstream media outlet.

1. Democratic Origins: During Al Gore’s presidential campaign run in 1988, Perry was the Texas Campaign Chairman. If one was to dig further they would find that his father was a House Democrat in 1984. In fact there is nothing but Democrat blood in his family. Perry claims that it was Gores stray from conservative values that led him to leave the Democratic Party in 89′ and become a Republican. But Perry’s views are far from conservative, and far from Republican.

2. An HPV Mandate:  It was January 2007 when Merck Corp. lobbied that states require all school children to be vaccinated with Gardasil, a vaccination for the human papillomavirus (HPV). After being sold on the idea that it would reduce a young girl of Texas’ chances of getting cancer, Perry supported the bill. Before allowing the Texas Congress to look into the legislation, Rick Perry signed an executive order mandating that sixth grade girls receive the shot before entering middle school (with an opt out for parents who objected). After a mass public outcry from concerned Texans and lawmakers being cut out of the process entirely, the state Congress revolted. They demanded he withdraw the mandate until it could be reviewed first. Rick Perry has since admitted fault, but makes light of this serious issue.

The Gardasil vaccination turned out to have horrifying side effects to the young females that took this newly-approved-by-the-FDA drug. A report in between January and July of 2008 from LifesiteNews documents one death per month, along with 140 serious adverse reactions, including 27 life threatening cases, 10 spontaneous abortions, and 6 cases of Guillan-Barre Syndrome. What would have happened if Rick Perry’s executive order was allowed to pass? As much as you would expect this to bother Perry, I am sure the $6000 campaign donation from Merck’s PAC for his gubernatorial bid definitely helped calm his woes.

3. Supported The N.A.F.T.A. ‘Superhighway’: A threat to United States sovereignty, Texan farmland, and national border security, the N.A.F.T.A. ‘superhighway’ is a $184B transit system. Two miles in width, it’s to be comprised of toll roads, rail lines, and utilities that stretched from the Texas-Mexican border to the Minnesota-Canadian border. In the state of Texas the section of the superhighway in the state was called the Trans-Texan Corridor.

Political supporters claim the goal of the entire superhighway was to make goods, from China and other exporting countries, easier to enter the North American continent. This would increase cheap imports, turning high profits for corporations in the U.S. and further promote the sweat-shop labor in China (average age of Chinese factory worker is in between 12 and 15). Ultimately this would further remove the international demand on any American goods.

When it came to employment, Perry contracted a foreign corporation (Cintra Concesiones De Infrastructuras De Transport) to own the tolls and Zachry Construction Company to construct the Corridor instead of looking to his state. His reasoning was that he didn’t want to have to argue in Congress over money for the roads, and he thought he was ‘saving Texans’ from additional taxes. It should be no surprise that Perry received significant campaign contributions from both Cintra and Zachry during his run for governor of Texas.

If one looks at N.A.F.T.A more closely, you see the blueprint for the regionalization of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, similar to what had been done in the European Union. The key construct to achieving this North American Union was Perry’s Trans-Texan Corridor, or that was its name until a few years ago when after mounting complaints it was renamed to the TTC-35, and then eventually disbanded and was cancelled. Perry flopped on the support of his creation in the 2010 Republican Primary where he claimed to oppose the construction of the TTC-35.

4. Doubled The Debt Of Texas:  After Bush became President in 2000, Rick Perry took over as governor of the state of Texas. While he resided as governor, Perry’s self-proclaimed ‘fiscal conservatism’ doubled the state’s debt from $13.7B in 2001 to 34.08B in 2009. Refusing to tax the wealthy, Perry left Texas law makers with $27B in budget deficits in this past year alone. On paper it looks like Perry balanced the budget, but a closer look reveals that Perry used deceptive accounting maneuvers, rewriting school funding laws, and delaying payments on bills coming into the state of Texas in 2013 as means to manipulate the numbers. This fact is the most troubling for a candidate that claims he has ideas that will be able to help the United States economy.

5. The Dismissal Of The ‘Restrain The TSA’ Bill: One of the moments that could have been a highlight for Rick Perry for his presidential bid in 2012, would have been a bill that supported every Texans 4th Amendment Constitutional right to privacy; HB 41 / SB 29. According to the Texas Constitution, it prohibits multiple readings of a bill on the same day unless it gets 4/5 of the 150 member body to consent to suspend the Constitution to pass the bill. Perry introduced the bill late into the special legislative and with the concerted efforts of he and House Speaker Joe Strauss, legislatures did not have enough time to read the bill over the 2nd day. Despite over 10,000 emails collected showing support of the bill, the ‘Restrain the TSA’ bill was killed by parliamentary procedure. To this day the unconstitutional TSA continues to grope men, woman and children in Texas and all across the country out of suspicion of terrorism.

6. Bilderberg Group Meeting Istanbul, Turkey 2007: Rick Perry attended the annual meeting of the world’s most powerful bankers, businessmen, politicians and even royalty. The attention they received this year in Switzerland caused the security to erect a tunnel made out of tarps so that the members could enter the meeting without being seen or recorded. If there is nothing to hide, why would they take a measure to remain hidden from cameras?

It is said that the Bilderberg Group meets to discuss global policy and that the Council on Foreign Relations sets the agenda accordingly here in the United States. Don’t believe it? Watch Hillary Clinton tell us who sets the agenda here. What was the good governor doing in Turkey? Let him answer this question for you here. What kind of speech could the governor of Texas possibly could have given to this collection of elites who meet in secret behind a media blackout? It is your choice to claim that this is a conspiracy, but please consider the fact that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ‘disappeared’ during the 2008 campaign to meet with the Bilderberg Group in Chantilly, Virginia. Bill Clinton also admits attending.

Next time you flip on the news and see the media dogs howling praise over Perry, keep in mind these important issues listed above. In society, we are judged by our actions, not by our intentions. What we do defines us more than what we say. We have heard Rick Perry’s rhetoric time and time again from different politicians on either side of the bipartisan spectrum. Make the right choice in 2012. Research the candidates, and pick the one that best represents you.
